For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
THE STATE MIST.

The farmers of the State are deeply
interested in the selection of a sue
cessor to DR.. Dabney: They regret to
see so little of the matter in the public
press. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER has
spoken wisely and uttered a word of
warning to the Board Of Agriculture.
And we find the following out-spoken
article in the Charlotte Chronicle:
"The time is Approaching for the
election Of a successor to DR.. Dabney
as State Chemist. The names of Drs.
Battle and Haigh have been mentioned
in the press of the State as suitable
persons to fill the Office. These are
young men, too young, it occurs to
The Chronicle, to entrust with such
important matters of public. interest
as pertain to this position. We do
not for a moment question their idel-
ity, their opportunities, their assiduity
in the pursuit of the very studies
which ought naturally to fit them for
~discharging many of the duties of the
Office. But ~conceding their practical
ability to analyze water, soils, fertiliz-
ers and SO on, there are many other
things which the Director of the State
Experiment Station must know how
to perform in order to make the de-
partment acceptable and useful to the
State. A practical knowledge of men
and business methods, which can be
learned, save in exceptional cases,
only in the severe school of experience,
is a necessity in our judgment. There
is much empty sentimentalism in the
papers in this connection about select
ing a North Carolinian to fill the
Office. Other things being equal, we
concur with those who hold that a
State man should be elected. But let
us be sure that other things are equal.
Going about finding a man to fill the
office were it a private enterprise, we
would naturally lose sight of county
and State lines and select the best man
we could find. Let the electors in the
discharge of their duty, select for this
important position the best man they
can find. That is what the people
want. The election of young college
graduates WHO are little experienced
in public matters and lack that power
which comes from attrition with men
in public life will work a loss of con-
fdence in the station and probably
endanger it's existence - Charlotte
Chronicle. 80
We al only say that the Board
itself is on trial. If it makes a mis-
take on this vital point the whole de-
partment goes. Let there be no more
"combines;" no more policy work no
personal tavorlteism; but only duty to
the State and to the
STRUGGLING FARMER.

FARM NOTES AND PROSPECTS.

Farm papers and farm people are
wonderfully active. Farmer alliances,
farmer clubs, farmer oranges, farmer
Institutes, and farmer wheels, are form
ing all over the country and for all
sorts of purposes.
So, too, the agricultural papers are
all alive. They TEEN with plans and
suggestions for industrial progress, for
protection to farm interests, and for
the improvement of farm life. The
Atlanta Cultivator publishes the adj
dresses delivered at the late Interstate
Farmers Convention, land these
speeches pretty well agree on one thing;
that the main cause of our depressed

This subject is being more and more

Let it be agitated/ Good will result
from a fair and candid discussion.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, from it's

and it will continue to contend, that
whoever gets this labor should be
made to pay a fair price for it. It
demands it on behalf of the taxpayers
of the State. We believe that the

IOTTINGS BY THE WAY-SIDE.

true man. Time and fate have sepa-
rated US, but the fond associations
and cherished recollections which
cluster so lovingly around the scenes
Of u boyhood days crowded upon
us as we received the warm grasp of
welcome and friendship among our
old friends in Wadesboro last week.

twenty-three years of devoted toll has
not healed, bat thou art glorious still,

sILER CITY FAIR.
Associated effort is the great pro-.
polling power which is driving the
world onward with such bewildering
speed. Three years ago a blacksmith
shop and one little store stood where
now the thriving and prosperous little
town of Siler .greets the eye of the
traveller on the G. F. & Y. V. R, R.
Six weeks ago an agricultural Fair at
this little town had not been heard of.
But some of, the more progressive
and enterprising of the citizens took
the initiative, and it was accomplished.
1t was truly and really: an. agricultural
Fair. The management excluded the
"wheels of fortune the fakes, the
gamblers and all manner of money
traps, and made it an agricultural Far.
Tt vas a success in every respect. The
cereals and other agricultural pro-
ducts, for variety and excellence, we
have not seen excelled at any of our
Fairs. The ladies' department was
highly creditable. Alpine Cotton and
Woollen Mills, of Mt. Airy, had a
magnificent display of beautiful cassi
mers, blankets and fancy yarns. We
saw a fine display of excellent home
tanned leather, and some elegant
chairs from the Thomasville factory.
Surry, Guilford, Randolph, Davidson,
Alamance, Chatham, Moore and Cum
berland contributed to the exhibition.

agriculture lies in this-ignorance o,J
adleness.
Per c~ontro, The PROGRESSIVE FAD
E at Raleigh has the very able ~
port of the Southern Farmer Alliance
at Shreveport, La, which discloses tho
fact that the low price of cotton iS
owing to the "import duty of GO nor
cent. on cotton CLOTH" And it comes
in this way: Two-thirds of the cotton
crop goes abroad, mainly to England
On the other hand this tax of 60 nnr

ulates her to renewed efforts to lovar
the price of American cotton-M bv
encouraging its growth elsewRerG
and (2) by a gigantic combination to
buy it up and then fix it's market
price, The remedies are (l) the estab.
lishment of Southern cotton factories
for the home consumption of the raw
material, and the Alliance is doing
this; (2) the repeal or modification Of
this import tax, SO as to extend the
demand for cotton goods and thus en-.
large the demand for export cotton.
Through this increased demand
abroad, and the enlarged consumption
at home, the poor farmer and strug.
Cling planter, may find relief.
But (3) after all, the main relief
must come from all classes at the
South, working harder and more
skillfully, raising more home supplies,
living more economically, and edu
eating children in manual training.
It is plain to see that all this energy
and enterprise on the part of the
farmers and planters is bound to sue
coed, and that ere long the great agri-
cultural interests of the South must
prosper.
We would especially beg all in
terested in this question to secure and
study the mastery report of the ALI
ance Convention. It bids fair to solve
the industrial and business problems.

The friends and management pre-
sented to the Secretary, Mr.. E. R.
Mclean, a very handsome gold-headed
cane, in recognition of his faithful and
efficient services, and which, all agreed,
had contributed so much to the uc-
cess of the occasion. Prof. Thompson
has a fine school-l32 students, and
he is heartily sustained by the citizens
of the town and the communicates
he ought and deserves to be. He is
doing a grand work for the youth
who are fortunate enough to be under
his charge. We were particularly
gratifed to find him with a splendid
building adapted to the comfort and
convenience Of his large school. His
cadets drill we'll and behave we'll and
are alike a credit to his school and to
the community. We left Siler i'm
pressed with it's wide-awake rgo-ahead-
itive1ess, and expect in the years to
come that it will have one Of the most
attractive fairs in the State.
..t.yANCE COUNTY FARMERS. =
From Wake to Arson, from Arson
to Chatham, from Chatham to Vance
almost without sleep and without
rest, we step off the train into a lively
crowd of lively farmers. The meeting
was good. It was lively and brim-full
Of earnest interest. 1t was called to
determine what form of organization
the farmers of Vance would adopt.
They were determined to organize.
They listened eagerly to an explana-
ton of the principles and purposes of
the Farmers Alliance, and after a
thorough investigation asked that
organizers be sent at NICE to Vance
county. We have great faith in the
farmers of that stirring little county,
and predict that they will, at once,
step prominently forward in the noble
work of the Alliance. They heard
some ringing speeches and pointed
truths from Col. Burgwyn, Mr..
Dunn, L. Ohio Wilson and others.
They passed a resolution appointing
a strong delegation to represent their
county in the Farmers Convention at
Greensboro. This noble people have
no voice in our legislature, but they
can and will be heard in the Farmers
Council.
Not the least among the many kind
nesses shown us by our good friends
during the week, was the presentation
Of a list of manety-sar annual subscrib-
ers to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, for
which we are profoundly grateful.
